This is not a new problem and has been present ever since I've been a NIS client (~ 2 years) and I update monthly or so (with the last update being 5 days ago). Does FreeBSD cache information it looks up from NIS ? Are there some stats on FreeBSD's NIS performance that I can look at to confirm whether this is the problem ? -- Matthew Thyer Phone: +61 8 8259 7249 Science Corporate Information Systems Fax: +61 8 8259 5537 Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Edinburgh PO Box 1500 Edinburgh South Australia 5111 IMPORTANT: This email remains the property of the Australian Defence Organisation and is subject to the jurisdiction of section 70 of the CRIMES ACT 1914.
